Babygirl, You've Got This!
How do Black women experience education in Britain? Within British educational research about Black students, gender distinctions have been largely absent, male-dominated or American-centric. Due to the lack of attention paid to Black female students, relatively little is known about how they understand and engage with the education system, or the influences which shape their long-term strategies and decision-making in order to gain educational 'success'. This book will illustrate the educational experiences and journeys of Black British women graduates and considers the influence of the intersections of race, gender, ethnicity, culture and social class on their educational journeys.

Complaint!
In Complaint! Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens. To make complaints within institutions is to learn how they work and for whom they work: complaint as feminist pedagogy. Ahmed explores how complaints are made behind closed doors and how doors are often closed on those who complain. To open these doors---to get complaints through, keep them going, or keep them alive---Ahmed emphasizes, requires forming new kinds of collectives. This book offers a systematic analysis of the methods used to stop complaints and a powerful and poetic meditation on what complaints can be used to do. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary.
A Fly Girl's Guide to University
'Toni Morrison once said, "If there's a book you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." In 2016 four friends wrote the book they wish they'd had as 18 year-old women of colour going to study in the elite academic institution of Cambridge University. And what a book! Wonderful, fiery, radical and brave - it uses multiple voices and forms such as memoir, polemic, poetry, critical approaches - to document their experiences as women of colour in an institution that they had each discovered failed to validate or even acknowledge their heritage, their gender, their right to see themselves in their place of study. As a narrative and a testament, this patchwork book h...
Critical Pedagogy
This accessible text provides a clear overview of the contemporary themes and challenges within critical pedagogy, and suggests a path towards a more conscientious world for all through education. Boronski encourages us to imagine radical alternatives to current approaches, not merely for ideological reasons, but due to increasing necessity for environmental and sociological perspectives. With case studies, discussion tasks and exemplars from global history woven throughout, each chapter considers a prominent societal and educational issue, tackling some difficult and unsettling areas. Embedded in this exploration is an understanding and application of key concepts, such as justice, equality, rights and power, and how these relate to a range of topics in UK schooling. These include the role of teachers in an age of hyper surveillance and performance monitoring, alternative approaches to education, and the growing fear of the ‘other’. Essential reading for Education Studies students at undergraduate and Master’s level, this comprehensive text will also be of interest to students of Social Policy, Sociology and Politics programmes.
British culture after empire
British culture after Empire is the first collection of its kind to explore the intertwined social, cultural and political aftermath of empire in Britain from 1945 up to and beyond the Brexit referendum of 2016, combining approaches from the fields of history, English and cultural studies. Against those who would deny, downplay or attempt to forget Britain’s imperial legacy, the various contributions expose and explore how the British Empire and the consequences of its end continue to shape Britain at the local, national and international level. As an important and urgent intervention in a field of increasing relevance within and beyond the academy, the book offers fresh perspectives on the colonial hangovers in post-colonial Britain from up-and-coming as well as established scholars.
Knowledge in English
Focusing on a key area of debate within the world of secondary English, the ‘knowledge-based curriculum’, this book explores in detail the question of knowledge in the teaching of English in secondary schools, drawing on specific concrete cases and a range of academic theories. Knowledge in English also investigates how to teach both facts and skills through the required texts to produce a balanced educational experience. Elliott brings together classic texts with contemporary knowledge and viewpoints to critically examine teaching in the English literature classroom, and situates them within the broader cultural and political context. The book includes discussions on race and gender in texts, Shakespeare and his influence, facts and emotions in poetry, and reading experiences. Knowledge in English is a foundational and accessible guide for researchers, practitioners, teacher educators and teachers around the world. It is a valuable resource for those involved in the English curriculum to keep the subject relevant and useful to students in the contemporary classroom.
Feminisme interromput
Estampada a samarretes i bosses de mà, la paraula feminista s'ha popularitzat i s'està convertint ràpidament en un eslògan per a la nostra generació. Però el feminisme no és una mercaderia que comprar i vendre; és una arma per lluitar contra la injustícia. L'autora proposa imaginar un món on la qualitat de vida no estigui relacionada amb la quantitat de diners que tenim, on no has de vendre la teva feina per sobreviure i les fronteres no existeixen. Aquest llibre revolucionari busca rescatar el feminisme de les urpes del consumisme mitjançant l'exploració de la violència estatal contra les dones, la justícia reproductiva, la transmisogínia, el treball sexual, la islamofòbia de gènere i molts altres temes, demostrant que la lluita per l'alliberament de gènere és una lluita per la justícia. Una que pot transformar el món per a tothom.
Feminismo interrumpido
El feminismo es un proyecto político acerca de lo que podría ser. Siempre está mirando hacia adelante, apostando a futuros que aún no podemos alcanzar. Es una forma de desear, de esperar, de aspirar a todo lo que se ha considerado imposible. Es una tarea que hay que abordar con seriedad. Este libro es para cualquiera que esté empezando a pensar críticamente. Las historias feministas son difíciles de manejar; no pueden ni deben presentarse de forma ordenada. Espero que este libro invite a pensar en los límites de este mundo y en las posibilidades que encierra el hecho de que podamos construir en conjunto. Espero que despierte el deseo de leer más y de familiarizarse con el pensamiento y la práctica del feminismo radical. Si este libro hace abrir otro libro, o ver un documental, buscar en el archivo, buscar un libro de poesía —si despierta o reaviva el interés por el feminismo— entonces ha cumplido su propósito.
Le manuel de la rabat-joie féministe
Tes collègues lèvent les yeux au ciel en réunion dès que tu dis " sexisme " ou " racisme " ? Les blagues offensantes ne te font pas rire ? On te dit que tu es injuste quand tu signales une injustice ? L'atmosphère se tend dès que tu abordes certains sujets ? Si c'est le cas, tu es sans doute une rabatjoie féministe et ce manuel est fait pour toi ! Le terme " rabat-joie " est souvent utilisé pour critiquer les féministes : on pointe leur agressivité, leur tristesse, leur méchanceté, leurs frustrations, leur jalousie, leurs excès, leur impatience. Les féministes voient le mal partout, détestent les hommes, ne savent pas s'amuser, cassent l'ambiance en soirée. En somme, elles po...
Experiments in Imagining Otherwise
This is a book of failure and mistakes; it begins with what is stolen from us and proposes only an invitation to imagine. In these playful written experiments, Lola Olufemi navigates the space between what is and what could be. Weaving together fragmentary reflections in prose and poetry, this is an exploration of the possibility of living differently, grounded in black feminist scholarship and political organising. Olufemi shows that the horizon is not an immaterial state we gesture toward. Instead, propelled by the motion of thinking against and beyond, we must invent the future now and never let go of the otherwise.
